More about this scene
Along the Ribble Way, before reaching Gisburn, the river cuts through a deep gorge, perhaps the most spectacular part of its length; but at this point we see the river harnessed. The weir, with its graceful half-circle shape, presented the chance to control and use the power of water. In the 19th century a cut was dug out from the river. The rushing water drove the engines at Low Moor spinning mill.
